These are absolutely stunning speakers. The photos do not do them justice. Sound is fantastic as you would expect from a 24 thousand dollar speaker. Excellent reviews and not often found for sale. Last pair was listed on a well known forum for $9600 and the finish was cracked and not in great condition. These look nearly new. Come as shown with sock covers and original boxes and packing. I will ship these freight on a pallet.
At USD 9,500 for the Acoustic Zen Crescendo MKII pair—originally retailed around USD 24,000—this asking price looks like a solid bargain against the used market, where clean pairs rarely dip below USD 12,000-15,000 based on recent listings and sales. The maple burl finish adds appeal without inflating value much, making this a steal if the condition holds up.
Before biting, verify the underhung voice coil drivers for any surround degradation or rubbing, as these transmission line towers stress them over time, especially the dual 8" woofers handling deep bass. Confirm original grilles, spikes, and any damping plugs are included, and insist on local auditioning to check cabinet resonance—these 125-pound beasts can develop buzzes if mishandled.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Acoustic Zen: Brand Overview
Acoustic Zen Technologies was founded in 2000 by legendary design engineer Robert Lee, establishing the company in San Diego, California. From its inception, the brand has pursued a focused mission: exploring acoustical behavior and sonic transmission to develop innovative cable and loudspeaker designs grounded in advances in materials research and precision engineering. Products are assembled in San Diego using a combination of domestic and imported components, reflecting the company's commitment to American manufacturing standards.
The brand is primarily known for high-quality audio cables and loudspeakers. Acoustic Zen's cable portfolio encompasses interconnects, speaker cables, power cords, and digital cables—all hand-manufactured in California. The loudspeaker line complements this focus, with designs engineered to deliver precise musicality, extraordinary sonic dynamics, and accurate soundstage reproduction. This dual emphasis on signal transmission and speaker design reflects the founder's deep expertise in cable acoustics and system integration.
Acoustic Zen occupies the high-end boutique segment of the audio market, positioning itself as a premium brand for discerning listeners who prioritize sonic accuracy and component synergy. The company's philosophy—expressed in its motto "Music… No compromise!"—appeals to audiophiles seeking uncompromising sound quality rather than mass-market convenience. With international distribution across multiple continents and a reputation built on engineering rigor and handcrafted manufacturing, Acoustic Zen maintains a respected niche within the enthusiast audio community.
